I am looking into other options for our ring bearers. I bought material and a friend was supposed to make them but she hasn't had time yet. Looking for alternative ways for the boys to carry the rings in case the pillows don't get done.
We are using a bible that is going to become our family bible. It has our names and wedding date embossed on it. We are going to tie ribbon around it and put the fake rings on it.
We're getting married in Hawaii and I'm thinking of using a seashell. I saw one in Martha Stewart magazine that looked nice. The inside was painted gold and a ribbon was glued inside to hold the rings.
We have two ring bearers. One is carrying a pillow will fake rings. The other, who is only quite younger, is carrying a teddy bear dressed in a tux. We figured it would keep him busy during the ceremony and will be a little gift we can give him.
Re: Ring Bearer Alternative Pillow
Put them in a cute pouch.
Put them on a necklace.
Put them in a cute box/tray.
Try a Ring Bearer Book

Ruffled's Version -(here) (The Blogger said they did it in 10 minutes!)
Or buy a pretty silver jewelry box - Things Remembered (here) has about 30 that you can get engraved and re-use.
